Angus Davitt, a cop in a New Jersey shore town circa 1990, is set up by fellow cops and suffers a perplexing fall from grace. WHY? The reader is left to wonder also, then taken on a deep dive into the lives of 4 friends as they grow into adulthood in the 1960's and 70's. The first person narrative is a virtual time capsule of growing up in middle class, post WWII patriotic America and is rich in cultural detail. Their personal experiences of the Newark inner city riots of 1967 and the Vietnam War force them to question everything they had been taught about patriotism and religious and moral faith as they go their separate ways.

Here, Angus and the reader find out "who done it and why." The Narrator lived it, in on...

Paolo Mancosu provides an original investigation of historical and systematic aspects of the notions of abstraction and infinity and their interaction. A familiar way of introducing concepts in mathematics rests on so-called definitions by abstraction. An example of this is Hume's Principle, which introduces the concept of number by stating that two concepts have the same number if and only if the objects falling under each one of them can be put in one-one correspondence. This principle is at the core of neo-logicism. In the first two chapters of the book, Mancosu provides a historical analysis of the mathematical uses and foundational discussion of definitions by abstraction up to Frege, Peano, and Russell. Chapter one shows that abstraction principles were quite widespread in the mathematical practice that preceded Frege's discussion of them and the second chapter provides the first contextual analysis of Frege's discussion of abstraction principles in section 64 of t...
